Thank you for all the comments and views on the Barbary Lion.
Reading through the comments I wish I could take all of you longing to share in such a photo shoot with me on a wild Safari where these animals roam (fairly) free and where you are in such close proximity that their roars make your lungs reverberate, tasting Africa in your mouth!
This is the lioness of the breeding pair. That yawn betrays the late nights taking its toll, LOL!
No other boring facts about lions today, I hope you enjoy...

LOL, sleep all day, party all night. It's tough to be a breeding lion! =o]
I have always dreamed about traveling to Africa, but I suppos it will continue to be only a dream. I would love to see the animals in their natural habitat. outstanding pov andtimely capture
WOW look at that wide big Mouth!! LOL WHAT A FUN AND WONDERFUL catpure perfectly timed !! ..WOW!... excellent !
Wow! "Queen o' the Beasts," too! Hey Piet, I'd love to come down to S.A. and get up close with the animals. My only worry is that this lady or her boyfriend might want a "taste of Texas" in their mouths!
Oh...ist die me.....wieder super Schnappschuund perfect Licht

Outstanding capture, Piet. Such a magnificent creature. I can hear her roar ;-) Superb lighting. Have a wonderful evening. Hugs.
A very young and pretty lady !!!! Look at her tooth !!!! You could make a fantastic publicity for a toothpaste with this one, lol ! She's the real "King"... not the male ! lol ! This serie is really very impressive, and to see them in this way (I hope they are wild ?????) it's gorgious and touching. Thank you Piet !!!! Have a very nice day my friend. Xoxoxo
Fascinating! Wonderful photo!!!! Thank you! Yet, after our last contact I have worried quite a bit about you, Please let me know how you are doing. HUGS!!!111
Amazing pictures, Piet! Maybe I will get these guys in my tg landscapes! :)
That huge yawn says it all and MUCH more! lol... excellent photo and wish I could get that close. :0)
Amazing capture , so impressive !!! BRavo :)
Wonderful! Such a great capture!
Really Kewl! I love your mug shot with your puppy, too!! I love animals! Five stars!
Man to be this close to this beast, what a thrill....But that mouth looks like it's all business, wouldn't want to aggrevate this girl...Great shot! Aloha!
my what big teeth and mouth. very cool shot
My daughter (Yukonjak) told me about the wonderful pictures you have rendered of the various animals native to S.Af. Your descriptions add to the render, to learn even more about them. In this part of the world, we see only small wild animals; and need to read "dull" books to get the many facts you put into short descriptions of your native animals. We can occasionally see wild deer in the local forests, but most of the "unfriendly" animals are small, and sometimes undesirable to get near (such as skunks). We do see brown and black bears in the northern part of our state, but not near our residential area. Since Renderosity changed their site, I had been unable to see your wonderful pictures. I'm so pleased to again see your pictures and read your comments about the many animals that are seen around here only in zoos. Keep up the wonderful work
I think its safer walking over the lava than next to this lioness... WOW.. What a Roar! Excellent. Aloha
Brilliant compo - the quality needs abit of help but otherwise your compo and visual qualty of the shot is perfect!
frowns at kitty lion Oi! Didn't your Momma teach you to put your claw in front of your whiskers before you yawn?!? closes kittylion's jaw and climbs on his back for a cuddle session giggle Piet, great shot man! I love these kitties! Wanted one for my birthday, but hubby doesn't think it's such a good idea wink wink
Wait! Hang on! Yep, I think I can fit your head in my mouth. Bring it here! :) Excellent shot!
so little cat! oh I have a parrot from Africa ~! oh he's safe from cats like this one ;-)
Impressive photography again!. What eyeteeth!... Fantastic!!! Hugssss
Is that mouth color for real? What a beautiful capture of that magnificent beast and it's furry texture! Nice back lighting also. You do excellent work.
LOl at least it's not like the 'yawn' of a baboon...big difference!Fabulous capture,Piet.Wish you could take me along with you,too!-M :^)
The female has much to say as well!! Great shot!
Amazing mouth!!! WOWWWW! That is some yawn! Perfect timing with the tongue lolling out like that... Excellent shot!! :-)
It's alright for some... nothing to do all day but enjoy yourself. Lovely shot.
